Cannabis oil is one thing that has been constantly on the minds of the men with prostate cancer. These days, a lot of people want to know if cannabis oil can actually cure prostate cancer. If you try asking any person whether he has used cannabis oil for prostate cancer and if the cancer went into remission, then the response is certainly yes. If you ask this to an expert or a scientist, then the answer will be that there is not much data on the use of cannabis oil in medical history.
Cannabis oil actually comes from marijuana, which is a plant that has been used for medicinal purposes for more than 1000 years. The plant goes by a lot of names like hemp, marijuana and cannabis. Scientists have found 66 biologically active components in cannabis, which are known as cannabinoids. The cannabinoids are a set of compounds that are found in cannabis species. The strongest cannabinoid is thought to be known as THC. The other things in the plant are also now being studied for its medical benefits. The cannabinoids may have the benefits in the treatment of the cancer-related side effects. Hemp usually refers to the sterilized seeds and the stalks that have a lesser concentration of THC.
Cannabis oil has a special quality – it is a natural treatment, which does not actually cause any harm to the cells in the body and it is much better tolerated than chemotherapy. However, there are some well researched studies based on cannabis to treat men for prostate cancer. There are a lot of evidences that cannabis oil shrinks the prostate cancer (tumors) and reduces pain. It actually eliminates insomnia as well as helps the patients get a good sense of well being.
There are so many stories of people who have used cannabis oil for shrinking the prostate cancer tumors and a lot of people have had success in mixing the oil with age old therapies for fighting cancer. There have been so many studies, which have taken place in order to concentrate on the symptoms like pain relief or nausea rather than just the efficiency of this cannabis oil for shrinking the cancer tumors.
